Vim: Inconsistent colors in terminal and gvim with base16

I am using base16 (default) colorscheme, and have the terminal colors in .Xresources set to the same colorscheme as well.
However, a few elements aren't being highlighted properly in the terminal, despite having same definitions.

The ModeMsg has same definition as a String, and yet it isn't highlighted properly. Vim seems to be pulling the 'bold' equivalent of the given color, which shoudn't happen.

(Gvim on the left, terminal on the right)

The colorscheme has following highlights for ModeMsg, and String

call <sid>hi("ModeMsg",       s:gui0B, "", s:cterm0B, "", "")
:
:
call <sid>hi("String",       s:gui0B, "", s:cterm0B, "", "")

which are same.

Interstingly,

 :highlight! link ModeMsg String

works as expected, and I have a green ModeMsg.

Thanks.
